There are seven inhabited East Frisian islands in the Niedersachsian Wadden Sea (Borkum, Juist, Norderney, Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog and Wangerooge). The uninhabited islands are Memmert, Mellum, Minsener Oog en Lüttje Oog. There are dunes and salt marshes on all of the islands, where a sea climate prevails. Along the mainland, the coastal regions are divided into the Weser-Ems region and the Elbe-Weser region. The outer dike region together with the Wadden Sea and the uninhabited parts of the islands form a National Park. This National Park is also part of the Wadden Sea World Heritage.
